Speaker: Dr. Shan Ong

Dr. Shan Ong is a consultant paediatrician in private practice based in Caringbah, Sydney, Australia. While he works in general paediatrics, he is also a specialist in child development. His interest in developmental paediatrics includes the assessment and management of children with developmental disabilities including autistic spectrum disorders, language disorders, specific learning difficulties and behaviour disorders. Dr. Shan has extensive experience working in multidisciplinary teams and communicating with families of children with multiple disabilities.

Parents who attended his talk last year learned so much from Dr. Shan due to his vast experience in working with special-needs children and their parents, and his zeal and passion in supporting such families.

Dr. Shan welcomes questions, so you may prepare your questions and email them to the organiser below.
